chipset fan noise on Shuttle AK31 V3.1

I have loud noise coming from my chipset fan. After holding my fingerdown to stop the fan, the noise stops. Is there a way to remedy thisissue? Do i need a new one and if so, what brand/size etc... do I need?

If you aren't overclocking the board I'd just stick a Zalman passivecooler on there and be done with it.

You could just remove the fan - if it is a well finned heatsink thatshould be OK.
